MD5 Checker

Posted in: technology. Tagged: linux, kde, md5

Linux includes “md5sum” utility for checking MD5 values of downloaded applications. I find it a nuisance having to drop into a command shell and execute…

$ md5sum download.iso

And then manually compare with the author’s. I have therefore written a simple KDE ServiceMenu to add MD5 checking.

Simply download and extract to /home/*USERNAME*/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus.
